Gardening

It is throwback Thursday again already. I brought back an oldie but a goodie. This post was my very first post about my garden. Oh how I wish my garden was that pretty still. The drought has been so hard on my poor garden. I am looking forward to when our rainfall is normal again and our wells full of plenty of water...in the mean time I can look back and remember.

I just love to garden and even more than that I love to enjoy a beautiful garden. I thought I would share a tiny bit of my garden with you. I have not quite 4 acres & I am working on landscaping all of it. I work on a bit at a time & then move on to my next project. This is one of my many roses.

This is Pink Mexican Petunia, it can get invasive down in the South, so I plant it in the shade to keep it under control. I also have it in purple as well as both colors in the mini variety.

A pretty shot thru my mimosa tree. Mmmmmm, it smells so good.

This is a view of my garden shed. New siding was added since this picture so it will be a little bit different next time but not too much.I have two rooms inside this shed. My 14 cats call the side with the exterior door their home along with storage for my garden tools & such & in the other room is where my parakeets, finches, & dove stay at night & during the winter. I will show some shots of the aviary at a later date.

Another view of the shed along with the flower bed beside it.

One of my pretty roses.

This is a pretty spot where we love to sit in the evenings & roast marshmallows over our fire pit. I also love to sit & pray or read here in this spot. There are so many birds that fly past & I enjoy their songs.
